Staying with Anima Cattery

Staying with Anima Cattery

Staying with Anima Cattery

Anima is proud to offer spacious, well-appointed accommodation for cats of all shapes, sizes, breeds and ages within their own spacious grassed area. Each unit opens into small lawned areas where the cats can take a stroll, get important leg-stretch time and exercise. One family at a time.

It also offers artificial turf for hypo-allergenic cats that are sensitive to fescues and other natural irritants.

The cattery is run on the same principle as a small Bed and Breakfast Hotel and provides comfort, privacy, Bed, Breakfast and Evening Meal. 2 Meals a day. We consider it absolutely essential to maintain a daily record of dietary habits, behaviour and bathroom activities. Health checks are conducted every morning with a further inspection in the afternoons and trained staff are made aware of the individual requirements of each cat entering the cattery.

  • Every unit is thoroughly cleansed with veterinary-only cleansing agents.
  • Water bowls are collected, cleansed and refreshed daily with filtered water;
  • Litter trays are cleansed and refreshed every day; with each cat being allocated a personal litter tray.
  • Health inspections
  • Heating during winter months: Fee applicable


We do everything in our power to make our V.I.P.s stay with us as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Anima takes a personalised approach to care, and we will work closely with you to understand your cat's individual needs, preferences, and habits. Whether your cat requires special diets, or medication, or simply needs a little extra attention, we are here to accommodate their needs.


The health and safety of our guests are of the utmost importance, and we have strict protocols in place to ensure their well-being, including those with special needs. Pauline has a discerning eye to recognise signs of discomfort or distress and will take immediate action to ensure your cat is comfortable and happy during their stay with us.

Drinking Fountain

Drinking Fountain

Drinking Fountain

Cats are highly sensitive to the quality and taste of their drinking water. 


Purified water has a neutral taste and odour, which can make it more appealing to cats. Furthermore, purified water is often softer and less mineral-heavy than tap water. This can reduce the likelihood of mineral build-ups in your cat's water bowl, which can be unappealing to your cat. This can encourage an overall enjoyment of drinking water resulting in your cat drinking more water, which is especially important if they are prone to dehydration or have special dietary requirements.

Our staff regularly check and change the water to ensure that it is always fresh.


Water Fountain

 

Supplying a water fountain provides a fun and engaging way for them to drink. The flowing water from a fountain provides stimulation for cats, encouraging them to drink more, and the design of the fountain makes it easy for them to access the water. Our guests are sure to love drinking from the fountain, and they'll enjoy the added stimulation and fun it provides.


If you have any questions about the availability of a fountain, or if you would like to book one for your cat, please don't hesitate to get in touch. 


*Additional fees apply for fountain rental

** Limited to stock availability & load shedding schedule.
